oK, FINAL question (bet you've never heard that one before)!! Anyhoo, So the accessory terminals are AC. Can you tell me the voltage? Really, what I want to do is mix a few of the Bachmann regular turnouts (meaning, NON DCC) and the Atlas brand turnouts since I have been able to find both versions on Ebay. And, of course, I need to know that they are compatible. I did call BACHMANN today and found out that their EZ Track Power Packs have their 2 AC accessary terminals in between the output to the track and the AC input from the wall. 

To all, wow, this is what I like about these forums. One question, and it spawns several different view points.  Thanks to all of you; I've got a lot to digest.

Forgive me, but I mis spoke when I said the EZ Command switches. What I have is one of the EZ Track sets that Bachmann sells. I tend to confuse the power packs/systems. Is the electricity on those power packs AC or DC?

JWARD, thanks for a quick response and sorry for the delay in responding (was at church). Can I go a little bit deeper, please. So, let's say I have JUST the power pack that comes with the BACHMANN EZ Commander Sets. (in N scale). You're saying I can wire the switches to the one and only output terminals that the power pack has? Wouldn't that tend to reduce power going to the track? The plan I am anticipating putting together has approx 10 switches. BTW, we can go offline to email if you prefer?

Thanks, Ron

Does anyone know how the two types of switches work together? Will I need a separate power pack to run the Atlas switch machines? I think they use AC current. But, not sure what the EZ command switches use, AC or DC?
